Im sick of looking at my busted up back rack, its broke in one spot and bent at the back mount to the frame. I was going to just put another stock rack back there from ebay (75-100$) but was thinking about just replacing it with a carriage rack or something else other than just the stock?? I see these 5 inch tall rack all over but do those just attach with your existing rack or go in place of? The other option would be to get one of those storage units with the back seat built in? any suggestions on either? thanks all !

 

Is there any way you could just weld it? Would have to recoat it in either paint, or Herculiner. Or is it too far gone?

 

Im not a 100% on this but, I think your right these 5 inch tall rack all over do just attach with your existing rack and the rear box with seat also attach to the rack.

 

I have bent my racks front and rear from x2 roll overs this year. I used a 2x4 and a block, bent them into shape and then had my buddy weld the broken seams. For your bent attaching point use a pair of pliers or a vise and bend it straight.

You can buy truck bedliner in a can and spray them and they will look like new again and save you some $$. Plus if you put anything on those racks the anti skid surface helps. (check out the Grizzly racks)

Besides if you only order one rack it will be new and the front will be old and tired looking.
